Great hotel and value
Hotel was much better than I expected given the price I paid. Hotel was immaculate, the lobby, restaurant, roof top bar and my room. Breakfast, which was included, was great! I will definitely stay here next time.

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful new property. Location excellent to explore market and muslim section but evening can look bit scary as there are homeless around. I wouldn’t mind staying rather here and take Uber around that is about $4 to go anywhere around town and be in nice property than to be at Waterfront that is located close to the restaurants but is very wore down. Loved this hotel

10/10 Exceptional

Very pleasant stay with very friendly and helpful team. Would stay there again. For sight-seeing ideal place to do everything by foot.
Bernd, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed at this hotel for 4 extra nights after our 2 week South Africa tour ended. It was a great location to walk to many meeting points for the tours we organized. The room was on the small side but we managed with one queen bed. The full breakfast (included) had plenty to choose from. All staff were attentive & helpful while assisting with our many questions. We highly recommended this hotel!
Wendy, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Stay Somewhere Else - Bad Service
My stay was less than pleasant. Customer service was subpar. They didn’t have a room available for 2 people on the first night, so my sister and I had to split up and then change rooms the second. Also, the breakfast is mediocre. The amenities and toiletries and subpar. Location is dangerous for tourists. We were told not to walk around on the streets - only take Ubers. I would recommend staying in the V&A Waterfront instead. Or out at Camps Bay if you want a beach.
4-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not worth it at all
It is a modern hotel with good facilities, in a very central location. However, in terms of services, it cannot be considered a hotel, as the cleaning is extremely poor and the service non-existent... to top it off, if you want to live the authentic youth hostel experience, don't miss the noisy and chaotic breakfast! (I would like to attach pictures of the rubbish i found in the room but i am not allowed to updload it)

Great for business
Location was perfect for our new office, the hotel reception rooms and the bar on the 14th floor, but my room 1207 suffers from noise from the bar above, would I use the hotel again Yes, but would request to be on the other side to avoid the noise from the bar above
Stewart, 5-night trip

The included breakfast was amazing, the pool and rooftop are beautiful. Restaurant great. Despite reading negative reviews, we found every staff member to be incredibly helpful and responsive. We would definitely stay here again. Family of 4 - 9 and 13 year of kids.

Great location and view!
Comfortable, hotel that is centrally located with a great breakfast. Rooms are a little small for two people but the view is fantastic. Gym, roof top pool, and great staff make it the perfect place to stay while in Cape Town.
